"The MAE program seems to offer the sweet combination of quantitative skills and real-world business understanding. MAE students are ready to work hard and face the challenge when needed. I believe that both of those qualities will be highly valued on the labour market."

"The MAE program represents a unique combination of excellent theoretical background and application of the studied concepts under supervision of the best practitioners in the respective fields. One of the greatest advantages is the limited number of students, who can thus benefit of exclusive personal approach, where their education is very much tailored according to their individual needs and preferences."

"The MA program in Applied Economics is successful in its goal to provide students not only with tools and techniques for analytical work, but also to create a space where one can form and discuss one’s opinions and ideas, learn the delicate balance between team work and stimulating competitiveness and, as a natural byproduct, form a lasting  network of friendships."
